In a recent meeting at the Liverpool offices of our website developer, Rippleffect, the PCW Technical group met up with Chiara Delvescovo and Alex Tucker from the BBC to discuss the development of the BBC’s Research and Education Space (RES) platform and how this might compliment the further development of the People’s Collection Wales.

Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales (Amgueddfa Cymru) is the first national museum in the world to trial the Culture and Heritage Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology (Apple iBeacon), in partnership with People’s Collection Wales and the Locly (app and platform). The programme is being trialled at one of Amgueddfa Cymru’s sites — the National Slate Museum in Llanberis — and will enable visitors to discover more about the collections on their mobile devices as they walk around the site.
